What kind of sand paper

Excepting if he is trying to work with jbweld. He will spend eons trying to smooth out the inside of the marker where he has filled the cocking slot just trying to use steel wool.

If using JBWeld to fill in the cocking slot, try to get the work as smooth as possible before it sets. Basically, keep an eye on it and keep molding it until it is too hard to work with. Once you have hit this level, you may want to have a peice of broom handle or something approximately the same diameter as the inside of the receive half. Lay the receiver over it while it is drying and it will help the JB weld keep its shape. Once its dry, use wet/dry sand paper to smooth it down. I usually start with a 220 grit for rough work and end up using 400 or higher for finish. Be careful not to damage the metal outside of the area you are working on. Keep in mind that you may have to do the fill and sand a couple of times to get things right. Just when you are finished, run your hand over your work and close your eyes. When you can't feel the transition from one part to another, you know you are done.
